U.S. Is Extending Tours of Army in Battle Zones

[120mm]

Tom, I'm just reacting to the fact that a very few units/soldiers in the Active Army are being deployed, again and again. Somewhere around 60% of Active Army soldiers have not been deployed anywhere, for anything. In this percentage are a significant number of malingering bastards who manage to "arrange" assignments to training centers and echelons above reality headquarters where they have no danger of deployment or even inconvenience....
